Well as far as I could tell, there wasn't one "anthem" to be found on either of those albums.
The new songs REM performed at their concert left me completely cold and pretty much spoilt the show as far as I was concerned (which is a shame as I had expected far better).

considering how big is U2, maybe we were all waiting for too much!... I don't think the album sucks, but it's not my favorite U2 album anyway... now, when people start to say "U2 is overrated" or "Bono sucks", just judging one album, that's a different story

Well if anybody actually said that, then I wouldn't disagree. However, Bono's "stupid" comments prompted those comments in the first place. So who's to blame for that?
If Bono had been a bit more circumspect in the first place, none of it would have happened.
However, it was probably the kind of reaction he was hoping for, as it was no doubt all done for publicity purposes.

Maybe for you but i'm not looking for anthems, i loved the allbum.. all of it. There were songs i loved the most yes but just because they don't have a super hit that plays over and over on the radio , doesnt mean their songs are dull.

Sorry about that, they played in a huge festival here and the new songs were so awesome live! Loved the classics too but R.E.M totally rocked even if they had only played the new songs haha.

it's all the media's fault, because clearly Bono was joking... it's the same as when Chris says that they'll stop creating songs because they are getting old or things like that! the media makes a big deal for nothing

So you agree that u2 sucks and the joshua tree was crap and coldplay is better in every single way? Oh btw, they also said Bono should be murdered. Very mature, isnt it?

What if Ringo star says chris is a ****** tomorrow? Will be ok to say the beatles are the shittiest band ever then? see my point?

I don't see how it could all be all the media's fault if Bono said it live on radio. It isn't as if the BBC had any chance to censor it................................
At the end of the day, nobody forced Bono to say it. He's been around for a long time and therefore can't be naive, which is why I think it might have been pre-meditated.

Lore · 03-03-2009, 07:06 PM

relax, Bono was just joking, Bono and Chris are friends... and no offense, but you should know that, considering that you love jokes...

They created so many anthems in the past, including "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "New Year's Day", "With Or Without You" and "Where The Streets Have No Name".
However, they haven't produced anything remotely anthemic since "Beautiful Day", which is already now several years old.
U2 are sure to retain their great live reputation, much as The Rolling Stones have for many years, but I'm pretty sure they've now run out of "memorable" songs.
I'd love to be proved wrong, but I very much doubt it.

What really matters is their music, not what Bono says about Chris, and the reality is that U2's new material is mediocre.
Therefore perhaps Bono should be concentrating more on the quality of the band's recordings rather than making daft jokes about Chris...................................

Basically i could translate it all to: " U2 sucks and they aren't as big as coldplay anymore and their music is shit" But i'll let kids be kids

It isn't just U2 who seem to have run out of anthemic songs, either. The same could be said of Oasis and R.E.M., whose most recent album was extremely dull.
